1 Kings 8:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “And it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a House to the Name of the LORD God of Israel.

¹⁸ “And the LORD said to David, my father, ‘Insomuch as it was in your heart to build a House to My Name, you did well that you were so minded.

¹⁹ ‘Nevertheless, you shall not build the House. But your son, who shall come out of your loins, he shall build the House to My Name.’
